I dont know a lot of things that you're talking about, but I promise I'll read the texts that you mentioned to try to understand 👍

I'm so happy I avoided gamergate because I was too much into splatoon lmao. The community there was really friendly.

oh yeah almost forgot to tell you to check out Marx Madness. They've done full reads of a lot of foundational texts and they offer it up in podcast/book club format where they read and discuss each work. https://podtail.com/en/podcast/marx-madness/

And this here is a collection of introductory works as well as some absolutely essential works on decolonial Marxism assembled by Chunka Luta Network with some free audio books as well. https://mega.nz/folder/cuMwjRyK#eDPayQSdYFwaCh9qr8zzPw

For a good history book I cannot recommend Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris enough. We have the full audiobook on there.
